Looking for grey #4 is part of a research I have been carrying out for years now. I have been investigating the emptiness among the branches as a way to find out more about the apparently void that surrounds the objects we perceive with our senses. There is maybe more to be discovered in the apparently non visible than in the visible realm. I have also used some diamond dust (tiny flakes of pure glass) to enhance the brightness of the "empty" shapes.

I earned a B.A. in Fine Arts at Central Saint Martin's School of Art and Design in 2004 in London where I lived for almost a decade. After winning the Kate Burton award for painting, I returned to Italy, where I participated in a number of exhibitions, including the International Bologna Art Fair. I currently live and work in Umbria. My artworks are born on the canvas with no or very little planning and they gradually take shape in, at times, unexpected ways. I stretch and prime the canvas myself, as a sort of ritual which helps me get in tune with my innermost, creative self. Making art is for me an inner necessity, a very powerful spiritual need which yearns to be expressed by means of an outer form. It is not really important what I make, as long as I am true to myself. I find Paul Klee's words in this regard enlightening: "[...] the artist is not only justified in using, but it is his duty to use only those forms which fulfil his own need [...]". While I am making something, my "intuition" takes a cue from it and develops a further strand of research and then a new one, in a sort of endless discourse whose origin keeps eluding us. (Paul Klee: "The work of art is born of an artist in a mysterious and secret way [...]). The lines and marks I make on the canvas are brought to life by the pencil and the sewing thread, my working tools. It is with them that I try to give shape to that entangled network of energy that I believe holds the universe together and that connects us all.
